a national security risk. also on the show, we meet a group of providing kids in india with an education and nutritious meals. as the problem of hunger, there appears to be worsening. ah, am jared read? thanks so much for your company today. the government here in berlin has given permission for china to invest in germany's biggest shipping container terminal. the chinese giant costco will now be allowed to buy a stake in the port of hamburg. it's a controversial deal that's going ahead despite loud cause for it not to buy the concerns of becoming more dependent on china, germany's top trading partner. so that led to a compromise elating cause co by a smaller stake day. and it had initially wanted the w political correspondent

emanuel shars, joins us now from our parliamentary studios. emma, hi there. could you flesh out the details of this hamburg deal for us? well jerry, you've mentioned that this is a compromise initially. costco wanted to acquire a 35 percent stake in the operator of germany's biggest container terminal in hamburg. but the chancellor's cabinet has now agreed to a deal on a smaller stake and less than 25 percent due to a growing concerns over the consequences of such a deal, such as increasing germany's dependency towards china. but also out of security concerns with china, china's agents are presence in yet another huge and strategic harbor basing does expand its political and military interest because costco is a state own company. it's a bias by beijing's rule. and in doing so, it can very well decide also to ship or not to ship goods. and this reminds us very

much of the economy dependency germany self inflicted by striking these with russia for decades before russia's war in ukraine. and these make, it makes it very hard to sanction russia afterwards. so there are fears here, embedding that this could be a repeat. should china, for example, ever be subjected to sanctions if it broke international law? now, emma, given all that, allowing a chinese company a share in critical german infrastructure kind of being without some controversy. it has indeed created a huge controversy here in berlin and not just within the population. germany is still dealing with the consequences of its dependency towards russian energy, which it has favored over the past decades, despite warnings from all of its allies about precise a such a dependency. now, there is a political dispute within the governing coalition with both the greens and

a free democrats being at odds with the chancellor over his decision to give more leverage to costco. and what's more, all our shows. the chancellor also happens to be handbooks, former mayor, it's something he knows very well. and he chose to ignore the advice from 6 ministries. federal ministry is that rejected, does deal with costco, and that was that this would extend, cost goes in friends in the region. foreign minister on, on in upper book, as said that germany should avoid repeating the mistake. it made a weird russia when it comes to ties was a china and even the german presidents hung about us on my at warned against a chinese dependency. and german intelligence also said that a, because of the strong economic ties between berlin and beijing, china's financial might, could also become a risk for germany. now emanuel lithuanian delegation has been visiting ty,

one this week, and while there sounded a warning against striking deals similar to the one that germany is now agreeing to with china. let's take a listen to this. now m r, i'm will come back to you. i really don't need to do the same mistakes the whole did with russia, with trade over with russia. yes, nobody was listening. and now we all pay the price. emma, you've reported extensively from ukraine as well as she a 2 in germany on the deep, vulnerable vulnerabilities that it's time to russia from his ties to russia that the war has exposed. i'm wondering if you could use that experience to reflect on what we just heard from that low maker. well 1st, what we've just heard comes families through and now this is their country which knows very well about transitioning to democracy as it did so in the ninety's. and it explains as well why lee 3 and now is so adamant to defend itself guarantee

europe sovereignty, democratic values, and a rule of law against any author, italian, a state. and what happened at the beginning of russia's war in ukraine was that the european, a reaction to which was greatly hindered by europe's and germany's dependency to russian energy. and when it comes to china, there is a fear of similar consequences. and i have personally as seen 1st turned the effects this war has on your queen, on his population. and we've all seen a trudy swore har. economy dependence in authoritarian non democratic states. canada and germany had to seriously review its economic choices. its alliance in light of russia's war and this position did per germany at odds with its allies when it comes to energy deals. for example, that was dw political correspondent, manual shows the manual. thank you. but even after the german cabinet approved the

deal, germany's foreign ministry sounded a warning again. it said that the chinese investment in hamburg, increased dependence on china and put european transport projects in danger. china's foreign ministry meantime had this to say the co operation is mutually beneficial. all involved should be reasonable and stop speculating with chinese foreign ministry spokesman wang when been there. speaking after germany's government approved a deal to allow a chinese shipping giant to a by a stake in the port of hamburg ah, to india, now we're figures sure that it's back sliding in its fight against malnutrition, the newly released world hunger index. now places india behind its neighbors, including bangladesh, sri lanka, and myanmar in its rankings. it's estimated that more than $3000000.00 children in

india, malnourished about half of them severely. he's more from d. w, madeira chandry. every day fixed it all, bush and comes to this education center for underprivileged children. her parents work as draft because a big reason they send her here is the fee, nutritious meal. she gets theme is the case with many other children ages asia, the n g o, which runs the center has for years, been trying to ensure not only good education, but adequate nutrition for children coming from undeserved communities. edna edwin, the project coordinator here says that in every slumped community they conduct a sylvie, defined roughly 80 percent of children to be managed. many kids and many families struggle in this area because of their financial status to they're not able to provide good nutrition to their kids and that can lead to under development and

that can affect their cognitive development. you know, a recent global hunger index report has thrown more light on this situation. the annual report which combines for competence under nourishment, shy dumping, j wasting, and jade mortality has drank india $107.00 out of $121.00 countries. and it has labeled the level of hunger in the country as serious, but the government has not deacon ready to distribute. the indian government had rejected the global hunger index report, calling it iranian biased and disconnected from ground reality. it also says the index deliberately ignores the efforts made by the government to ensure food security for the population. deep us in her, a professor of economics says, this claim does not hold any ground. and that the index uses official government data. she says the report should motivate the government to review the measures they have taken so far. there are

a number of policies in india addressing the issue of hunger minute chance, but did our severe limitations to these programs fund? is that not everybody's covered, that on the exclusions. and secondly, also that in terms of the nutrition content avoid, the government is distributed. there are limitations. it says it's time to pause and reflect on what more needs to be done. the teachers at the center agree at their end. they tried to maintain height and weight records of all the children. and accordingly, big changes to the menu cover. daniel additional needs coming from severely deprived backgrounds. these children have found hope and nourishment till giving them a chance to build a better future. well, people in bangladesh are picking up the pieces after yet another natural disaster ship their country. at least 28 people have died since like lions c trunk swept
